Hi friends, It’s recipe redux day! This month’s theme is bringing smoky/spicy flavors into our dishes. “The New Year is heating up with smoke and spiciness. From boldly flavored smoked salts to actual smoking techniques, subtly smoked food is on-trend. The same can be said for spice as we savor heat from harissa, sriracha and…

Hi friends! I am excited to participate in Recipe Redux for the first time, a recipe challenge group founded by Registered Dietitians. What happens here is a group of bloggers (aka “the recipe redux members”) create a recipe each month using an assigned theme. It’s all about reinventing healthy eating. I always enjoy seeing the creativity that…

Hello friends and happy friday! Hope you all enjoyed some photography tips that I shared earlier this week from the IFBC photography session. I will go through my notes and share some info on the other sessions I attended, but for now I am joining Lindsay over at the Lean Green Bean for a Pin It…

Hi friends, I am super excited for this Friday because I am heading into Seattle (about an hour north from us) for the International Food Blog Conference. Yes, there really are conferences about food blogging! It’s my second year attending and I am so thankful they decided to have it in Seattle again this year….

It’s Friday! Woo hoo! Actually as a stay-at-home mom, Fridays don’t have quite the same meaning to me as before when I was in the workplace, BUT I do love having the hubby home and not being on any schedule so yay for that! Let’s dive right into Friday Favorites! Favorite meal We have…

It’s World Breastfeeding week so I thought we’d talk about breastfeeding! I realize that this might not interest a lot of you, but it’s important and even if it helps out one new mom then it’s worth it! As a Dietitian, I worked with the WIC population when I was living in San Diego. It…

Hi friends! Today I want to talk about environmentally friendly ways to pack a lunch. I always keep foil, saran wrap and plastic baggies on hand, but we rarely use them for our lunches because there are so many great reusable options. For the month of August my three oldest are all attending my daughter’s…

Hello friends! I posted some pictures from our Hawaii vacation earlier this week and now I am moving on to the food we ate! We definitely ate well on vacation, although we cooked ourselves the majority of the time. Eating out with that many people would have just been a pain and way too expensive. Of…

I am back from our 3 week vacation in Hawaii. We had a fabulous time and ended up with very spotty wifi so blogging wasn’t doable. Sorry to leave you hanging for that long, but I know you understand! Since it will take me a little bit longer to get into the groove of blogging,…

Hi friends! Can you believe I’ve never participated in a WIAW post? Jen from Peas and Crayons hosts it and it’s where bloggers write a post about everything they ate in one day and link it up every Wednesday- mostly because it’s fun but also to share ideas and inspiration. I am normally too scatterbrained…
